No Spider-Man 2 Demo Hints At Disappointing AAA Quality? 

Earlier, the gamers speculated Spider-Man 2 to be a dominant contender for Game of the Year. The speculations were ignited after the developers revealed a massive innovation in the upcoming venture. For the first time, the character of Venom was introduced to Sony’s gaming universe. However, the rush was short-lived as the wait for a demo became never-ending. Now when we are weeks before the release, it is almost certain for the game to go for sale without a demo. This has left the gigantic fan club of Spider-Man disappointed. 

A fan took the discussion to Twitter as he wrote, “I’m pretty worried about Spiderman 2. There’s no demo in sight, how can I believe the game is going to deliver that AAA quality?!?! This definitely spells Doom for Spiderman 2.”
